Yep, with enough support from them I agree. Heck, the Wii would've likely passed PS1 numbers now if Ninty had only made NSMBU a Wii game instead and released it late 2011 or 2012. |
I posted this in another thread but heres a way I think Nintendo could have kept Wii relevant for an additional 1-2 years and not messed up Wii U launch.
2011 Wii releases-Xenoblade Chronicles Q1, Fortune Street Q2, Kirby Return to Dreamland Q3, Skyward Sword/Just Dance/Skylanders Q4. Basically the same as reality but just spreading out the titles throughout the year and bringing over Xenoblade earlier. Sales about 12-14 million
2012-Last Story Q1, Pandora Tower Q2, Pikmin 3 Q3, New Super Mario Bros Wii 2/Just Dance/Skylanders Q4. This year they release the rest of Operation Rainfall and have Pikmin never switch to Wii U which could have gotten it out much sooner. Sales 8-10 million
2013-Rayman Legends/Lego City Undercover first half, Just Dance/Skylanders second half. Sales 5-6 million
As for Wii U it should have been delayed to holiday 2013 with only one the Deluxe bundle at $299
Launch exclusives-Nintendo Land (bundled), Mario 3D World, DKC Tropical Freeze, Wii Party U, ZombiU (could have used some extra time polishing since it was rushed)
Launch multiplats-COD Ghosts, Skylanders, Assassins Creed 4, Watch Dogs, Just Dance, Battlefield 4, EA Sports and a few others
2014 releases could look like
Q1-Wind Waker HD, Wonderful 101, Mario & Sonic Olympics
Q2-Mario Kart 8, Sonic Lost World, Wii Fit U
Q3-Bayonetta 2, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi
Q4-Smash Bros, Wii Sports U, X
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
